Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to a Fabry Perot interferometer for use in a fiber optic sensor array to sense changes in acoustic pressure.
  • This invention relates particularly to a two-wavelength Fabry-Perot sensor system for sensing acoustic pressure.
  • Fiber optic sensor systems have power fluctuations associated with source lasers, time dependent polarization effects in the fiber, and other disturbances between the source laser and sensors and between sensors and photodiode detectors.
  • This invention provides a two-wavelength Fabry-Perot interferometric sensor system that overcomes problems caused by optical power fluctuations in prior interferometric acoustic sensor systems.
  • a fiber optic sensor system as claimed in Claim 1.
  • a method for forming a fiber optic sensor system as claimed in Claim 6.
  • a fiber optic sensor array according to the present invention may further comprise an optical on-off switch arranged to control transmission of optical signals through the signal transmission optical fiber.
  • the array of two-wavelength Fabry-Perot interferometric sensors may comprise a time division multiplexed architecture connected to the optical switch wherein a plurality of optical couplers couple a corresponding plurality of two wavelength Fabry-Perot interferometric sensors to the signal transmission fiber, and an output wavelength division multiplexer arranged to divide optical signals output from the plurality of Fabry-Perot interferometric sensors into a first output signal having wavelength ⁇ A and a second output signal having wavelength ⁇ B .
  • the array of two-wavelength Fabry-Perot interferometric sensors may alternatively comprise a fan-out architecture of a plurality of two wavelength Fabry-Perot interferometric sensors coupled to the input wavelength division multiplexer to receive optical signals of wavelength ⁇ A and ⁇ B therefrom, and a photodetector array coupled to the fan-out architecture such that each two-wavelength Fabry-Perot interferometric sensor therein has an output coupled to a first corresponding photodetector arranged to detect signals of wavelength ⁇ A and to a corresponding second photodetector arranged to detect signals of wavelength ⁇ B .
  • the fiber optic sensor array may comprise a Fabry-Perot interferometric sensor formed to include a single mode optical fiber, a ferrule mounted at an end of the single mode optical fiber so as to extend a distance W gap beyond the end, a diaphragm mounted on the ferrule to form an enclosed region, the diaphragm being arranged to receive an acoustic pressure wave, the diaphragm being movable with respect to the end of the single mode optical fiber to modulate the distance between the diaphragm and end of the single mode optical fiber in response to pressure the diaphragm and end of the single mode optical fiber in response to pressure variations in the acoustic pressure wave, a fluid within the enclosed region; and a multimode optical fiber having an end of a multimode core arranged such that optical signals of wavelength ⁇ A and ⁇ B propagating in the single mode optical fiber undergo multiple reflections and produce a diverging light beam comprising interference signals of wavelengths ⁇ A and ⁇ B that propagates through the diaphrag
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a Fabry Perot interferometer 20 designed for incorporation into a fiber optic sensor array.
  • the Fabry Perot interferometer 20 comprises an optical fiber 22 having a core 24 and a cladding 26 that surrounds the core 24.
  • Optical fiber normally has a protective jacket (not shown).
  • the jacket has been removed and replaced with a ferrule 28 that is preferably formed of a hollow glass rod.
  • An end 30 of the ferrule 28 extends a small distance beyond the core 24 and cladding 26 to form a small cavity 32.
  • a diaphragm 34 is bonded to the outer end 30 of the ferrule 28 such that there is a small gap 36 between the diaphragm 34 and the optical fiber end 38.
  • the diaphragm 34 may be formed of silica.
  • the gap 36 preferably is filled with a fluid such as oil or other substance that has a good impedance match with water.
  • the diaphragm 34 moves in response to incident acoustic pressure waves in a water environment.
  • Light is reflected from both the end 38 of the optical fiber core 24 and the inner surface 40 of the diaphragm 34 back into the fiber 22.
  • Reflectivities R 1 and R 2 for the fiber end 38 and the diaphragm surface 40, respectively, and the gap width W gap determine how much light goes back into the optical fiber 22.
  • the reflectivities are characteristics of the optical fiber core 24 and the diaphragm surface 40.
  • the gap width is a function of the pressure in the acoustic wave incident upon the diaphragm 34.
  • the fiber end 38 and the surface 40 of the diaphragm 34 that faces the fiber tip 38 may have coatings 42 and 44, respectively formed thereon to enhance the reflectivities.
  • the coatings may comprise either a dielectric or a metal material.
  • the gap width W gap between the fiber tip 38 and the diaphragm 34 is typically less than 50 microns. If the gap width is too large, the light exiting the fiber tip 38 spreads by diffraction to such an extent that after a double pass through the gap 36 a very small portion of the light can be coupled back into the fiber 22. For gap widths of 15 microns or less the diffraction spread factor is negligible for single mode fiber propagating light at 1550 nm.
  • FIG. 2 graphically illustrates reflectivity as a function of gap width for the reflection mode Fabry-Perot interferometer of FIG. 1 for a wavelength of 1550 nm.
  • the refractive index of the fluid in the gap is given by n fluid .
  • a plot of reflected power back into the fiber as a function of gap width and mirror reflectivities is shown in FIG. 2 .
  • Matched mirror reflectivities of 0.30, 0.60, and 0.82 show a pronounced narrowing of the resonance dip as reflectivity goes up. The resonance dip goes to zero only for the case of the matched reflectivities.
  • the finesse associated with the highest reflectivity is 16.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show plots of reflected power back into the optical fiber 12 for two wavelengths ⁇ A and ⁇ B as functions of gap for both wavelengths. Both plots show two traces that cross one another at a reflected power of about 30%. Comparing FIGS. 3 and 4 shows that small changes in wavelength yield substantial changes in the desired gap width. Two wavelengths of about 1480 and 1550 nm have been selected. These are common wavelengths that are easily separated from one another by a small, inexpensive wavelength division multiplexer (WDM).
  • WDM wavelength division multiplexer
  • a small change in gap width increases reflected power for one wavelength and decreases by a like amount reflected power for the other wavelength.
  • This push-pull behavior can be used to advantage in forming an acoustic sensor.
  • the difference of the two reflected powers is twice as great as either one alone with a small change in gap width.
  • a method involving ratios of received powers at the two wavelengths can overcome these difficulties.
  • ⁇ is the ratio of optical powers input at the two wavelengths.
  • ⁇ is equal to one, equal amounts of optical power at the two wavelengths are delivered to the Fabry Perot sensor 20.
  • FIG. 5 is a plot of visibility as a function of gap width. The visibility ranges between minus one and plus one with the steepest slope being at the sensor operating point where visibility is about zero. As shown by the plot, a substantial imbalance in the two powers at the two wavelengths has a minimal effect on the visibility. For example, a twenty percent imbalance of incident power at the two wavelengths has a very small effect on the visibility function.
  • FIG. 6 is a plot of the slope of the visibility function, or delta visibility, over delta gap width.
  • a flat slope implies a linear response.
  • a change in acoustic pressure produces a proportional change in the visibility function.
  • the range of motion increases, there is more variability in the slope that produces increased harmonic distortion for very large acoustic tones. This is unlike the case of the phase generated carrier in which there is a catastrophic failure.
  • FIG. 7 graphically illustrates reflectivity as a function of gap width for a reflection mode Fabry-Perot interferometer for two wavelengths operated in a push only mode.
  • FIG. 8 graphically illustrates reflectivity ratios as a function of gap width for a reflection mode Fabry-Perot interferometer for two wavelengths operated in a push only mode.
  • FIG. 9 graphically illustrates the slope of reflectivity ratios as a function of gap width for a reflection mode Fabry-Perot interferometer for two wavelengths operated in a push only mode.
  • FIGS. 10 and 11 show examples of two different array architectures for push-pull Fabry Perot sensors.
  • FIG. 10 shows a time division multiplexed (TDM) architecture 45
  • FIG. 11 shows a fan-out continuous wave (CW) architecture 47.
  • TDM time division multiplexed
